My surgery is tomorrow, so first of all I want to say Best of Luck to all of my 1/6 surgery sisters. I can't wait to hear how everyone is doing. We've all been here on OH and done our research, so I'm sure that we'll all do great!!!

Since I won't be here for the rest of the week, I also want to send my best wishes to ALL who are having surgery 1/7, 1/8, and 1/9- Your time is coming fast, and you'll all do well also.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!

OMG! I have been posting about this all weekend! I am on the Medifast shakes for 2 weeks! They are horrible! I have to have 5 a day. I can also have tea, coffee and water! WHAT! I am going to DIE! Or lose so much weight I wont need the surgery afterall! My surgery is next Monday and I am already looking forward to broth and SF jello! I have lost 11 lbs so far. 
How do some get to be so lucky???
I also have to do MOM and fleet enemas  everynite for 3 nites leading up to surgery day! What! After all these Medifast shakes there is going to be nothing solid in my system at all! 
Thats all I keep saying is...... 6 more days,

I was told the same thing as Jennifer. That when a person is overweight, so is the liver and they want to shrink it as much as possible before the surgery.  Also, any weight you can lose pre-op makes recovery that much easier. My doctor told me I would lose about 10 pounds on the pre-op liquid diet.

Each surgeon and program is different. So it just depends on what works for your surgeon.

I am posting this for snoops she has her surgery tomorrow with Dr. Clark please keep her in your prayers and thoughts. I will post after her surgery tomorrow.
Thanks,

I have read everything on how to make your portein shakes taste good. From the DaVinci syrup, etc. I can't even stand the smell how do you get past that?

Good luck to you, I am on day four and just like everyone says it does get easier.
